The papers in this volume present an excellent sampling of the best of current research in labor economics, combining the most sophisticated theory and econometric methods with high-quality data on a variety of problems. Originally presented at a Universities-National Bureau Committee for Economic Research conference on labor markets in 1978, and not published elsewhere, the thirteen papers treat four interrelated themes: labor mobility, job turnover, and life-cycle dynamics; the analysis of unemployment compensation and employment policy; labor market discrimination; and labor market information and investment. The Introduction by Sherwin Rosen provides a thoughtful guide to the contents of the papers and offers suggestions for continuing research.read more

Mobility and Stability: The Dynamics of Job Change in Labor Markets
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate tests of the specific capital model and consider whether these tests are successful in distinguishing the specific-specific capital model from a model based on heterogeneity, and conclude that, while deriving convincing direct evidence for the particular-capability model of mobility is difficult, it appears that specific capital is a useful construct for understanding worker mobility and wage dynamics.
